The average time a person spends in each visit to an online
The average time a person spends in each visit to an online social networking service is
70 minutes.
The standard deviation is 10 minutes. If a visitor is selected at random, find the probability that he or she will spend the time shown on the networking service. Assume the times are normally distributed.
The probability that a randomly selected visitor spends at least 182 minutes per visit me is what %?
Refer to the table of values (Area Under the Standard Normal Distribution ) as needed. If necessary, round intermediate calculations to the nearest hundred
The probability that a randomly selected visitor spends at least 182 minutes per vis
Solution
The probability that a randomly selected visitor spends at least 182 minutes per visit me is what %?
We first get the z score for the critical value. As z = (x - u) / s, then as
x = critical value = 182
u = mean = 70
s = standard deviation = 10
Thus,
z = (x - u) / s = 11.2
Thus, using a table/technology, the right tailed area of this is
P(z > 11.2 ) = 0 [ANSWER]
************************************
As this is a weird answer, I think you meant that the mean is 170. In that case, if mean = 170 instead,
We first get the z score for the critical value. As z = (x - u) / s, then as
x = critical value = 182
u = mean = 170
s = standard deviation = 10
Thus,
z = (x - u) / s = 1.2
Thus, using a table/technology, the right tailed area of this is
P(z > 1.2 ) = 0.1151 = 11.51% [ANSWER]
